Bucs rookie returner Jaelon Darden

It was a rough season for the Bucs’ rookie fourth-round pick out of North Texas for many reasons. (more…)

Joe often has said that everything Tom Brady does is highly calculated. (more…)

Interviewed.

In a virtual sitdown along with his agent, former Bucs receiver Antonio Brown made wild claims about his former employers. (more…)

“Matt Stafford will make more cash than me next year.”

Joe has always believed this Tom Brady-may-retire chatter was sparked by a plant. Brady and/or his people wanted it out there. And people don’t plant stories for no good reason. (more…)

Shocking news.

This earthquake that just hit New Orleans may have the Mississippi River flowing northward. (more…)

“Oh Tom, do you really want to spend another year handing the ball to Giovani Bernard? Only Ira Kaufman likes that guy for some weird reason.”

In the mind of one of the most plugged-in NFL media types around, the supermodel Gisele Bündchen is putting her stiletto heel down. (more…)

“They let you down, Tommy.”

The pain runs deep at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters.

What happened Sunday didn’t have to happen — at least not the way it went down. (more…)

Josh Wells is a great bet to return to Tampa next season.

Bucco Bruce Arians made a fantastic point yesterday that cut through a lot of BS and emotion following Sunday’s season-ending punch to the groin inflicted by the Rams. (more…)

Defensive coordinator Todd Bowles

The pain of Sunday’s loss runs deep for Joe.

Why? Why? Why? (more…)

Shaq sacked Sunday.

Now Joe has been banging on Bucs defensive coordinator Todd Bowles pretty hard the past day or so because Joe thinks his coaching malpractice was a key reason why the Bucs cleaned out their lockers yesterday, some for good. (more…)

There was no wavering in words or tone. (more…)

No confetti.

Yesterday in his final 2021 season media availability, Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians was still fighting the depression that comes with a playoff loss. (more…)

“Tom, I hear Cam Brate’s fiance is a good real estate agent in Tampa. Got her cell?”

Bucs fans are not going to get a sound sleep until they know: Will Tom Brady return to the Bucs in 2022 or retire? (more…)

Tied at the hip?

As Bucs fans sit on the edge of their seats waiting for Tom Brady to decide if he’s had enough of football or if he wants to take one more run at a Super Bowl, presumably with the Bucs, another future Hall of Famer is likely waiting for the same answer. (more…)

Remember when Von Miller launched his helmet into Tom Brady’s face and left it bloody yesterday? (more…)

Byron Leftwich

The reports are flowing everywhere. Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich has a second interview tomorrow with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their vacant head coaching position.

Joe isn’t surprised. As of today, there are no reports of defensive coordinator Todd Bowles having a second interview lined up. Joe isn’t surprised by that, either.

Good luck, Byron!
